Middle School Designs at VMHC
St. Michael’s Students Showcase History with LEGO Models at VMHC Exhibit! While studying the 1920s and 1930s in Middle School Social Studies, our students dove into Richmond’s past by researching historic sites, writing original historical markers, and bringing history to life through LEGO models. We’re proud to announce that select student models from this project are now featured in the Virginia Museum of History and Culture’s newly opened exhibit, "Traveling Bricks: An Exhibition Made of LEGO Bricks."
We invite families to explore this exciting exhibit and see our students' work on display! The exhibit runs through January 5, with a special opportunity to visit on Friday, December 6—when the museum offers free admission for First Friday and extended hours until 8:00 p.m.
